Hi
I'm a guy who hasn't written Java in a few years, and am trying to do the same thing in Java Servlets that I can currently do in Server-side Perl. Why?
Just trying to improve my skills. widen my horizons. improve my resume.
or something!

So, I'm writing Java from scratch (and borrowed snippets) ...

I also cross-posted this in the Java forum.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I get the following error when I compile the snippet below. If I comment out the line it complains about, it compiles cleanly.

I'd like to be able to call a subroutine... I mean, invoke a method... from within a doPost or doGet. All of the
examples I've seen put all the code within one method or they have methods that don't do anything.

I'd like to avoid having all of the print statements in one method. It seems to defeat the purpose of OO programming.
